The new face of leadership. Transform the culture of your organization.
Learn how life-changing this entire program could be for you, your career and the people you serve. Facilitation is part of the new face of leadership. Leverage the knowledge and experience of your people to make sound decisions and implement effective action.
The Facilitative Leadership Program can transform the culture and practices of your organization by equipping you with the ability to get employees and all stakeholders working together from plans they develop together.
University might help you understand what facilitative leadership is, but ICA’s Facilitative Leadership Program shows you how it’s done. With any team or department you will generate insight, energy and commitment by aligning content and process outcomes. Facilitative Leadership is transferable across all fields.
The curriculum of the Facilitative Leadership Program includes
- Group Facilitation Methods (GFM) – 2 days
- Transformational Strategy (TST) – 3 days
- Organizational Transformation (ORG) – 3 days
- Leading Dynamic Teams (DYN) – 2 days
- Facilitating Conciliation (CON) – 2 days
- Power of Image Change (IMC) – 2 days
- Participation Paradigm (PPR) – 2 days
The seven courses of the FLP can be spread out over a year or more in almost any order but Group Facilitation Methods must be taken first.
You can take the In-Person (IP) classroom, Live-Online (LO) scheduled, or Self-Directed (SD) online version of these courses. The Self-directed (SD) version is available only for GFM and TST.
The Organizational Transformation course shows practical approaches for engaging large groups in necessary and sometimes painful change. The Transformational Strategy course guides you to facilitate strategic planning with Boards, management and staff. Leading Dynamic Teams demonstrates how to re-energize teams that have hit a plateau. Facilitating Conciliation shows how to use the energy of conflict to move a group forward. The Power of Image Change helps break through dysfunctional behaviour and ramp up motivation. Participation Paradigm enables everyone with the courage to lead.
There is plenty of theory, demonstration, application, practice and feedback in all these courses.

Together these six courses address all the competencies used by IAF to assess Certified Professional Facilitators (CPF), and all the competencies used by ICA to assess Certified Top Facilitator. That means you learn how to create collaborative client relationships, plan appropriate group processes, create and sustain participatory environments, guide groups to appropriate and useful outcomes, build and maintain professional knowledge, and model a positive professional attitude. The Facilitative Leadership Program goes far beyond facilitation competence, however, moving into leadership competence.
Please note that certification is a separate process, not included within any training program. Learn more about how you can earn your CPF designation from IAF.
